"He probably won't surpass Helian Jue!"
Xie Yuan still had confidence in her husband.
Helian Jue's appearance was inherited from the peerless favorite concubine, Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Xiao was able to be spotted by the late emperor amidst the chaos of war because of her stunningly beautiful face.
In addition, the Helian clan was of Xianbei ethnicity, and the late emperor was not bad-looking.
With excellent genes and mixed heritage, Helian Jue's looks are absolutely perfect.
The fact that Xie Yuan, a clear-headed transmigrated woman, was still moved by Helian Jue is definitely partly due to his face.
"Wait a minute, Yuwen Hao's situation is somewhat similar to Helian Jue's; he is also of Xianbei mixed descent."
Xie Yuan muttered to himself, then suddenly realized what the two had in common—
His father's family were all Xianbei nobles, and he had the genetic predisposition of deep-set eyes and high noses.
Her mother's family were all prominent families in the Southern Dynasties. She was gentle, graceful, and talented.
"Could they be another pair of rivals?"
Since one of them was her husband, Xie Yuan couldn't just jokingly refer to them as "the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix" like a mere bystander.
Well, "equal in brilliance" is probably a more positive term.
Even at this point, Xie Yuan had not remembered the "connection" between himself and Yuwen Hao.
Looking at the female officials below, whether they were married or not, whether they had a sweetheart or not, they all looked like fervent fans.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but be infected by their enthusiasm. "A message came from the post station near the capital, saying that Yuwen Hao will arrive in the capital in three days at the latest, and as early as tomorrow."
"Is he really Yulang?"
Xie Yuan, like an ordinary bystander, curiously chatted with a group of female officials.
"Oh my god, I'll get to see Yuwen Yulang tomorrow?"
“It is indeed Yulang. This is what the last emperor of the Southern Dynasty, oh, the current Marquis of Anle, said himself.”
"I heard that Yuwen Yulang was only thirteen years old at that time. He had beautiful features and quick wit, like a little fairy descended to earth."
"Your Majesty, you may not know, but it is said that back in Jiankang, Yuwen Yulang was not only the object of admiration for countless young ladies, but also for many young gentlemen—"
Nanling is, after all, an unmarried woman. Although she is engaged and the wedding is approaching, she is still shy about matters between men and women (men and men).
Xie Yuan raised an eyebrow: ...Oh wow, that Yuwen Hao is bisexual!
It seems she's really good-looking.
Xie Yuan was just a bystander, never expecting that this gossip would affect him personally.
It was Helian Yan who, because she spent her days with scholars from aristocratic families like Yan He, became familiar with the genealogies of these families and the lineages of renowned teachers.
She noticed that Xie Yuan seemed to be just watching the show, as if he didn't know Yuwen Hao at all.
Helian Yan couldn't help but wonder, "Your Majesty, haven't you met Yuwen Yulang before?"
Xie Yuan paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Do I know her?"
How come I didn't know?
Wait, could it be the original owner?
Xie Yuan began to painstakingly search for the original owner's memories.
At the same time, Helian Yan had already given the answer, "Yuwen Yulang is Master Xianyu's disciple!"
"Envy the fish" is the courtesy name of Xie Yuan, derived from the proverb "It is better to retreat and weave a net than to stand by the water and envy the fish."
Xie Yuan didn't care much about the original owner's relatives and friends.
It wasn't because she was cold-hearted, but because the original owner had no close family members besides her younger brother.
"Having no close relatives" must have been the greatest pain in the original owner's heart.
Therefore, the memories Xie Yuan received after transmigrating were not very detailed.
There are some things that even the original owner seems to have deliberately forgotten.
for example--
"Yuwen Hao is my father's disciple?"
So, the original owner's cheap senior brother?
Xie Yuan really didn't know.
This person did not exist in the original owner's memories.
"Indeed! Mr. Xianyu is a renowned scholar in the country, and in recent years, Yuwen Yulang has successfully become another renowned scholar after Mr. Xianyu, thanks to his talent and good looks!"
This time, it was Mugalo who spoke up.
She noticed that Xie Yuan's expression was off; he seemed dazed and lost in thought.
Mugalo suddenly realized that the Empress's father, the Mr. Xianyu, had died a violent death.
A bullock cart, four family members—all perished.
It is said that it was because of Mr. Xianyu's death that Empress Xie was left helpless and vulnerable, and was subjected to humiliation by her clansmen.
She was then forced to marry the deposed crown prince, Helian Jue, in his place!
Mr. Xianyu must be the deepest sorrow in the Empress's heart.
"Damn it! We completely forgot about all of this! We actually talked about Yuwen Yulang in front of the Empress!"
"This...this is deliberately stirring up painful memories for Her Majesty!"
Apart from Mu Jialan, the female officials present were mostly from top-tier noble families.
They knew many secrets of wealthy families and the past of royalty, so they all realized that something seemed amiss.
Inside the main hall of Jiaofang Palace, a group of women dressed in gorgeous clothes were exchanging glances frantically.
The scene immediately fell silent.
Xie Yuan didn't hear a sound, but instead snapped out of her reverie and noticed that everyone's expressions were somewhat strange—
I felt both annoyed and guilty.
Huh?
What is this?
Weren't they all obsessed with idols? How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Anyone who didn't know better would think they had done something wrong.
Xie Yuan didn't forget the previous topic, so he continued, "Yes, Yuwen Hao is indeed my father's disciple."
"However, I didn't have much contact with him, and I can't remember much about him."
Xie Yuan was not lying when he said that.
